Proverbs 31 is a treasure house of practical wisdom for Christian girls. It outlines the day-to-day tangible life of a woman who fears the Lord, setting the standard that Christian girls and women try to meet.
Over the next few weeks I will be doing a study of Proverbs 31:10-31 in twelve parts. I will examine the different attributes shown in these verses and giving practical tips for living these out in your daily life.
It's worth noting, however, that this is not a call to be a perfect girl. Verse 30 says, "Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." All of the things talked about in the verse as examples of how we should live spring from loving the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. If you read your Bible every day, commit Scripture to memory, and pray regularly, the virtuousness shown in the Proverbs 31 girl will naturally come to light in your life, from the inside out.
Verse 10 says, "An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels." It's never too early to begin preparing yourself to be a godly wife and mother and take care of a household! If you develop the virtues of Proverbs 31 in your life, you will be a priceless treasure to a family someday.
What do you think? Do you like Proverbs 31? Do you have particular verses that are your favorites? Do you have any questions about these verses that I could answer in the next few months?
